Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan received a call from chief director Wu Jingyuan.
“Jianghu comes to the rescue!”
What’s going on?
Director Wu called because there was a problem with the crew's props.
Zhang Yuan has looked at the attributes of props, but he has never shown that he can make props, and no one else knows.
So why would someone come to him if there was a problem with the props?
Because the prop in question this time is a painting.
The story of the drama "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is all derived from Mr. Pu Songling's original work.
But the screenwriters made a lot of magical changes.
In Zhang Yuan’s eyes, the changes were actually pretty good.
For example, Liu Shishi is filming "Abao".
In the original work, the male protagonist Sun Tzu Chu is a fool.
The fellow villagers kept tricking him into doing stupid things, but every time these stupid things would make him succeed by chance.
For example, a smart man deceived Sun Tzu Chu, who was about to take the exam, and sold him last year's exam questions as today's exam questions.
It happened that this year's examiner was a weirdo, and he really used last year's test questions, allowing him to get the first place in one fell swoop.
While retaining part of the original content, the script also adds a very fashionable setting to the heroine Abao.
After getting up every day, the memory will be reset!
This is obviously based on the setting and plot of the American movie "Fifty First Dates".
The story of "Painted Skin" is more familiar to ordinary audiences, so the screenwriter simply made a drastic adaptation.
There are only a few main characters in the original work, including the scholar, his wife, the painted skin, and the Taoist.
The content is also an old routine from Liaozhai. The scholar picks up a beautiful woman and takes it home. The Taoist priest discovers that there is evil spirit and reminds the other party that the painted skin is really like it. The scholar has his heart ripped out.
The most special point of the original work is that in order to save her husband, according to the old Taoist saying, the wife swallowed the phlegm spitted by the old monk when she was humiliated on the street. When she got home, she spit it out and filled her husband's heart with a heart.
Actually, this story praises the loyalty of a wife.
The "Painted Skin" of "New Liaozhai" completely turned this story over.
The male protagonist Wang Anxu is a scumbag.
When he was a scholar, he hooked up with Mei Sanniang, who spent all his money to help him take the exam in Beijing, gave birth to a child for him, and took care of his mother.
But for the sake of his own future, Wang Anxu fell in love with Hanlin's daughter, and he did not hesitate to burn his wife and children to death.
Mei Sanniang turned into a painting and came to seduce him and seek revenge, but was stopped by a Taoist priest and Hanlin's daughter.
But Wang Anxu also wanted to become a consort for the sake of his future, and ignored his second wife when she had a difficult delivery, resulting in the death of two people.
The ending was a happy one. Mei Sanniang and his second wife Chen Chuhui both turned into ghosts and came to beg for their lives.
No one will save Wang Anxu this time.
Because according to the plot, after Mei Sanniang failed the previous time, she was put into the gourd by the Taoist priest.
The reappearance of Mei Sanniang at the ending shows that even the Taoist priests could not stand Wang Anxu's behavior of killing his wife twice and released the innocent soul from the gourd.
They say it’s not the story that’s scary, it’s the human heart.
Because the story adapted in this version is very strange and the ending is very satisfying.
But is this story really just a story?
In real life, there are many people who kill their wives and husbands for wealth, fame and fortune.
Talk about the pregnant woman who traveled to Siam and was pushed off a cliff by her husband. Isn’t this story even scarier than the story?
But in reality, no ghost can avenge himself.
This version of "Painted Skin" also adds a very weird setting for the female ghost.
She was initially possessed by a scroll made of human skin found from the Western Regions.
The male protagonist Wang Anxu drew a picture of a beautiful woman on a human skin scroll, and the person in the painting jumped out in the middle of the night.
The problem now is this picture scroll.
The crew had previously ordered customized pictures of beautiful women.
Yes, it is not mass-produced, it is customized.
Because the beauty in this picture is drawn according to the appearance of the heroine Zeng Li.
I painted three pictures in total, thinking that if water splashed on or got stained during the shooting process, I would still be able to make up for it later.
Then I found out that rats had eaten them while they were in the warehouse...
And there were three of them eaten at the same time.
Director Wu Jingyuan picked it up and saw that a piece of the beauty's face was missing.
This person's face was already long and thin, but now he looks like Zhao Benshan.
“Don’t you have a good relationship with Xu Jingjiang?” Director Wu brought Zhang Yuan over.
"I remember when we were filming "Sword of Immortal", you and him were splashing ink and painting together in their free time."
"Yes..."
Photography of "Sword of Immortal" When playing "The Legend of Qi Xia", Zhang Yuanlao played with Mr. Xu, who wore a wig and played the role of the Moon Worshiper, and picked up some attributes by the way.
Teacher Xu is a real master and an all-rounder.
Ink, watercolor, oil painting, sculpture, printmaking, there is no one that this person can’t do, and his attainments are not low.
Even being a "mannequin" is a good skill, after all, everyone has seen it.
"What do you mean?"
"Can I draw it on the spot? The filming will start soon." Director Wu pushed him to the table with a playful smile.
Next, Zeng Li arrived at the set and saw Zhang Yuan greeting her.
“I just talked about him yesterday, and said that I can’t meet anyone in different groups.”
“Why did he suddenly come to our group.”
“Hello. Zeng Li also stepped forward and shook hands, quite grandly.
After Director Wu explained to the heroine, Zeng Li covered her mouth with her hand, showing a look of surprise.
"You can also draw?"
"Yes, I learned it from Teacher Xu Jingjiang."
"Ah, he can also draw." Zeng Li glared: "He It’s not that kind of shooting..."
Zhang Yuanxin said, you, a woman who looks quite serious and calm, don’t miss that thing.
Soon after, Sister Zeng stood in front of a desk.
Things like pens, inks, paper and inkstones are quite complete, and the props used for filming are all real.
And it was fine after using it. I was originally going to shoot the scene where the male protagonist Wang Anxu was painting.
“Turn your body slightly to the side.”
“Expose your shoulders.”
“Place your hands in front of your lower abdomen.”
"Take another half step forward with your right leg, relax your waist and hips..."
Zhang Yuan commanded, picking up a rabbit hair and dabbing the ink.
The cyan ink spreads on the tip of the snow-white nose, dyeing the picture with sharp edges of different thicknesses.
Zhang Yuan is very cautious and observes for a long time before writing.
Ms. Tsang’s makeup in this film is a classic.
It is a rare outfit that perfectly suits the temperament of this old lady.
A pure black dress with wide shoulders and wide sleeves.
This dress has a bit of opera style, which is very suitable for Da Lizi who has Tsing Yi skills.
The hairstyle is also very charming.
Pull it up behind your back and spread it to your waist, leaving only a long strand on the side of your face, giving you a sense of mystery as if you are holding a pipa and half-covering your face.
Dark purple eyeliner, dark clothing, shiny black wig, plus her already dark and bright eyes, the whole person exudes a dignified and depressed temperament.
But the makeup artist gave her a very red and bright lip makeup!
The beauty is here.
Dressed in black, a flash of bright red suddenly appeared, and the mysterious and strange feeling was immediately highlighted.
This female ghost is so gorgeous!
Coupled with a pair of crystal earrings hanging on the even more crystal earlobes, this makeup matches her unique temperament, showing a contrast between purity and lust.
There was even a time when Zeng Li’s paintings were known as the most beautiful ghosts.
Zhang Yuanxin said that if all female ghosts looked like this, many people would have bold ideas.
After all, as long as you are brave, the female ghost will take maternity leave...
Dip cinnabar and add red lips.
Zeng Li looked at Zhang Yuan who was painting. He had a calm temperament and a leisurely talent.
Thinking back to the way he acted as a woman yesterday, I thought that this guy is really talented.
She is willing to make friends with talented people.
Because they have been singing operas all year round, neither she nor Yuan Quan are particularly outgoing girls.
Compared to their classmates, Zhang Ziyi, Hu Jing, and Qin Hailu are quiet and introverted.
Raise your hands slowly and click your eyes slowly.
Done.
Zhang Yuan put down his pen and felt that he had lost money.
I received money from the actors and even did the work of the assistant director bringing props.
As soon as he stopped his hand, everyone gathered around.
"Oh, it really looks like it."
"So beautiful."
"I didn't expect you to have such a skill."
"I knew you could, but I didn't expect you to draw It’s so good.” Director Wu Jingyuan was also amazed.
Zeng Li also came forward to take a closer look and couldn't help being surprised.
In the painting, I have spring-like brows and a peach-blossom face.
Although the painting is freehand, it completely expresses my own spirit.
Especially a pair of bright eyes, even brighter than my own.
“Your painting is really good.” Zeng Li picked up the scroll and admired it.
【Received thanks from Zeng Li, +1 for basic opera! 】
"Yesterday I talked to Yuan Quan about you, and she said you were very good."
Zhang Yuan's heart trembled when he heard this.
Teacher Yuan will not tell the truth.
The story of the Golden Cudgel and the Water Curtain Cave is not something that should be told to outsiders!
“So you are good at painting.” She pursed her lips and smiled, obviously very satisfied with the painting.
"Yes." Zhang Yuan thought with a smile, as long as Yuan Quan doesn't tell me any other strengths.
"This is a prop and cannot be moved. If you like, I can draw one for you alone." Zhang Yuan gestured: "You are Sister Yuan Quan's friend, free of charge."
< br>"Really?"
"Of course."
Jiang Hua stood aside and glanced at the handsome man and beautiful woman next to Wei Zai's scroll.
"Why do I think Zeng Li is a female ghost, but this boy is more like Wang Anxu."
After all, Mei Sanniang in the film was attracted by the painter Wang Anxu and resolutely dedicated herself to it.
Jiang Hua shook his head slightly and didn't say much when he saw this.
Because he himself was not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was young.
The scandal between him and Deng Cuiwen once caused a sensation in Hong Kong.
When Jiang Hua was married and his wife was pregnant, he had an extramarital affair with Deng Cuiwen on the set of "I Have a Date with Spring".
The key is that Deng Cuiwen still really loves him and is even still unmarried.
When Jiang Hua’s wife found out, she defended her husband and didn’t say anything. She also publicly scolded Deng Cuiwen, pretending to make him look bad.
Why bother women?
Actually, Jiang Hua hesitated when he received the script of "Painted Skin".
Because the male protagonist Wang Anxu abandoned his wife and children, he is so much like his real self. Whenever he was filming, he felt a weird and awkward feeling in his heart, as if he was not acting, but himself.
So it was hard for him to say anything when he saw Zeng Li's cheerful appearance.
“The young girl yesterday seemed to be quite interested in him.”
“You can tell it from the look in his eyes.”
"Now this one is also smiling so happily...Forget it, I can't care about the affairs of mainlanders." Jiang Hua turned to read the script.
After finishing this matter, he returned to his "Xiao Qian" crew.
He just finished painting over there, and when he got here, Yang Mi pulled him again and asked him to help read the script and give a demonstration.
"Do it for me again like yesterday."
"Is it good..."
At first, Zhang Yuan was not happy.
But the other party held his arm tightly and acted coquettishly, and even swayed while acting coquettishly.
As soon as he moved, the two big balls on his chest hit his arms.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Zhang Yuan is such a pure person, a person who has escaped from high-level interests, and a person who is sworn in with gambling and drugs.
After a while, director Huang Weimin asked him to discuss what to do with the scene.
He deserves to be the leading actor...
"Sooner or later I have to ask Cai Yinong to give me some shares in Sugar Man!"
When the show was over, Zeng Li Come to the crew here to look for him.
“Didn’t you say you would draw another one for me?”
Zhang Yuanxin said that this big girl is very enthusiastic.
It should be Yuan Quan who put in a good word for him.
This teacher Yuan is not a serious person. When he met Zeng Li, he couldn't turn his head around. He really couldn't understand the meaning of her words.
"Okay, but where to paint?"
"Go to me, my suite has a small living room." Zeng Li did not shy away from it.
Yang Mi on the side rolled his eyes and quickly raised his hand.
“I want to paint too!”
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes at her, why are you joining in the fun?
I was talking to people from the China Theater Company, and asked me what happened to the Nortel exam!
"Okay, let's play together. I just bought a lot of snacks, let's eat together."
Zeng Li took good care of Yang Mi, a junior in the same company.
Zhang Yuan: ...
What?
What a painting!
Zhang Yuan patted the back of his head and wondered whether he was a little impure after staying with Gao Yuanyuan for a long time.
A group of girls, one big and one small, went to the room with him while chatting and laughing.
Jiang Hua happened to get off work and saw three people entering the hotel room.
This guy’s eyes are straight.
“Damn, it’s more fun than when I was young!”
“And they say you mainlanders are conservative!”
Zeng Li's living conditions are good, and the brokerage company helped her get this.
Yang Mi glanced with envy, she lived in a standard room.
I thought that one day I would be able to live in a suite.
This girl loves to compare, so she is more utilitarian.
"I asked the crew to borrow some costumes. Just wait a moment while I go change." Zeng Li walked into the bathroom with a carefree package.
"Then I'll paint you first. The sooner I paint, the sooner I'll finish." Zhang Yuanxin said what's the point of painting, of course he wanted to finish the work as soon as possible.
Yang Mi has already changed into her own costume and tied her hair in a ponytail, highlighting her youthful beauty.
In fact, her eyes are very bright and her eye shape is quite beautiful. Among the students, she is definitely the one with the most outstanding appearance.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten so many filming opportunities since I was a kid.
But after growing and developing, two problems appeared that troubled her.
First, the chest grows too fast.
As a result, the shoulders are sore, the back is not straight, and the whole person tends to lean forward habitually.
Liu Qianqian and Liu Shishi have straight backs and excellent postures.
Look at the chests of these two... there is basically no burden.
Not only did Yang Mi have poor posture, she was also unable to exercise strenuously, especially running. She was tossed around and was constantly glanced at and laughed at by boys.
In fact, she is still young, so she doesn't know that this is not only a shortcoming, but also a great advantage.
And she is still the type with slender branches and fruitful fruits, that is, the chassis is small and the fruits are large, so when it moves, it shakes and shakes, and the visual effect is excellent.
The second is that she inherited her father’s square cheeks.
When I was little, I was fine, with a round face and a cute smile.
As the baby fat fades away after growth, the mandibular angle begins to become gradually apparent.
Therefore, when Zhang Yuan was painting, he deliberately outlined her cheeks slightly rounded to hide her facial defects.
"Wow!" After finishing the painting, Yang Mi's eyes lit up.
I wish I looked just like in this painting.
She was alert and saw Zhang Yuan's adjustments to her facial lines.
He touched his chin and looked at the painting again.
I was thinking that I should adjust it according to this painting...
Zhang Yuan didn't know that he had unintentionally figured out the idea for her.
Yang Mi carefully dried the scroll, rolled it up and put it away, it was very precious.
“It’s so beautiful. Please draw it for me in the future.”
“Okay, but you should have seen “Titanic”.”
"I've seen it..." Yang Mi nodded, then immediately reacted, squinting and holding the scroll, and took half a step back.
In "Titanic", the heroine was naked when modeling for the hero.
"Ahem..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a light cough from behind.
Sister Zeng Li put on a long white dress with flowers sewn on it. This was her oiran outfit in the film.
She also heard the topic of "Titanic", and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
"I was joking with her." Zhang Yuan quickly explained.
"Oh... let's forget it, I'll stop painting." Zeng Li said hesitantly.
"Okay, it doesn't matter to me." Zhang Yuanlan's attitude changed at this time, and he knew that he really had no other intentions than simply appreciating his painting ability.
“Not quite the same as Yuan Quan.”
"Teacher Yuan has a cold face and seems distant, but once he becomes enthusiastic... he will be overwhelmed."
"This person looks enthusiastic and kind, but in fact he feels distant."
Yang Mi also said hello and walked out.
With a proud expression on his face, he touched the scroll in his arms.
"Hey, only I have it, she doesn't."
He happily returned to his room.
Zhang Yuan was the same. After going back to the house and taking a shower, he sat on the sofa and read the script while waiting for Chang Chang to knock on the door.
We agreed last night that she will come to stay at my place every day recently.
Didi didi...
But the arrival of a phone call interrupted his happy waiting.
"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry."
"The director came to see me last night and found out that I was not here, so he gave me a scolding."
"I can't come to live with you anymore."
< br>Shu Chang said aggrievedly.
Zhang Yuan was shocked when he heard this.
The director is looking for an actress in the middle of the night?
After Shu Chang explained, he understood.
The crew of "Lotus Lantern" has very strict requirements. The director and producer have to hold a meeting with the leading actors to discuss the script after get off work in the evening.
In addition to her, Jiao Enjun, Cao Jun and even Yan Danchen, who has a smaller role, are also there.
There are so many people, Zhang Yuan is not worried anymore.
After all, the most handsome one among them is Jiao Enjun, but this guy has a good character and won't take advantage of his celebrity status to attack girls.
Teacher Jiao was even raped by his wife.
His appearance is also green...
It can be seen that not only men, but women can do anything when they are lonely.
Now, in the room not far away, there is a lonely woman who has just broken up.
"Did I go too far just now?"
"It was just a joke, and it wasn't meant for me."
"I just lost face."
"And he is Quan's friend..."
After the two left, Zeng Li sat in the room, feeling empty in her heart.
"He won't think that I am holding grudges about what happened in the dressing room and deliberately playing tricks on him."
"No, I have to explain it to someone when I find time."
"But I should How should I put it? "
Zeng Li is the kind of person who reacts slowly but has many things on his mind.
It’s the type of person who can’t hold back a word for a long time after arguing with someone, but can review it all night when he returns home.
Zeng Li struggled with this matter for the remaining few days.
Tell me, it’s a little hard to say.
Don’t say it, because I’m afraid people will misunderstand me.
Look, with his temperament like this, no wonder Lao Mouzi chose Zhang Ziyi instead of her.
She doesn’t have the fierceness of the International Chapter!
Too temperamental, hesitant and timid.
Zhang Yuan didn't take her seriously either.
If you can make friends, make friends. If you have a romantic relationship, go with it. If you don’t have one, don’t force it.
She is beautiful, more beautiful in person than in front of the camera.
But it is not so beautiful that you have to take it, and if you miss it, you will regret it for life.
Moreover, this Feng Pian is quite "serious" about relationships.
Serious people are easily injured.
Zhang Yuan only plays with the body, not with emotions.
It is inappropriate to hurt people's feelings.
He continued filming, and the days passed day by day.
That day, he received a call from Fan Xiaopang.
"Zhang Yuan, I got some news about the Wang brothers..." (End of this chapter)
